Diagnostics of the level of motivation for learning among students of agricultural classes in the Kaliningrad region

the purpose of this study is to identify the level of motivation for learning and to pre-sent the results of experimental work conducted in agricultural classes in the Kalinin-grad region, functioning as a pilot project for the introduction of specialized agricul-tural education. The experimental activity was carried out during the 2024/2025 aca-demic year using a modified methodology proposed by O.S. Grebenyuk, adapted to the specifics of this study. The diagnosis of motivation to study was carried out in the agricultural classes of the region during the first half of the year. A total of 217 agricultural students participat-ed in the study, who were offered answer forms, where they noted the answers to the researcher's questions. The analysis of the responses allowed students to be divided into four levels of motivation, where the 1st level corresponded to high cognitive mo-tivation and a positive attitude to learning; the 2nd level is characterized by a focus on high results and compliance with social standards.; Level 3 is an average level of cog-nitive abilities with a moderate decrease in motivation; level 4 is characterized by a decrease in motivation and a negative attitude towards learning. As a result, it was found that the vast majority of agricultural students demonstrate a high level of motivation to acquire knowledge. This indicates a pronounced domi-nance of the cognitive component in the structure of their learning activities, as well as the presence of a positive emotional attitude towards the learning process. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the motivational sphere of agroclass students is characterized by significant cognitive orientation and emotional involvement, which is an important factor contributing to their successful development of the educational program and further successful education in specialized educational institutions of the region. In the future, the implementation of the agroclass project will solve the prob-lem of shortage of personnel in the agricultural sector, and will also contribute to the development of rural areas.
